about

Its a basic midwinter howl, useful even out of season, I would say, if I could recall more distinctly at this moment what the other seasons were like.

lyrics

A Long Time Ago
Music and Lyrics by
Michael Alan Silverstone
©2011 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP 1/15/11

In the black night sky
moon shone as white as bone
In the black night sky
moon shone as white as bone
Spirit in the light like it’s alive
Spirit in the light like it’s alive

There was a long hard winter
and I could not see the end
There was a long hard winter
and I could not see the end
I didn’t know how I’d get through
I didn’t know how I’d get thorugh

What I wanted seemed so far away
What I wanted seemed so far away
May as well have been
a million miles from here
May as well have been
a million miles from here

And a long time ago
a long time ago a long time, a long time
a long time ago

It was a beautiful dream
so happy in a beautiful dream
such a beautiful dream,
oh such a beautiful dream
when love began to be so long ago
when love began to be so long ago

Maybe some people are never gonna understand
seems like some people are never gonna understand
no matter how much you want ‘em to
no matter how much you want ‘em to

In the black night sky
moon shone as white as bone
In the black night sky
moon shone as white as bone
Spirit in the light like it’s alive
Spirit in the light like it’s alive

Since a long time ago
a long time ago a long time, a long time
a long time ago
